EHLI-BEJT U SUNNIJSKIM TRADICIJSKIM IZVORIMA
AHLU-L-BAYT IN SUNNI TRADITION

Summary/Abstract: By the word of the Qur’an and the Hadith, Allah’s Messenger, Muhammad (p.b.u.h), is Allah’s most chosen slave and His messenger and his family is the most chosen family. Their praiseworthiness is directly and indirectly pointed out by ayahs of the Qur’an and the text of the Hadith of Allah’s messenger, sallallahu ‘aleyhi we ‘ala alyhi we selleme. It is an imperative to ask for blessings for His family equally as we ask for blessings for the Messenger himself in all our supplications. One exceptional significance of Ahlu-l- bayt lies in the fact that the Messenger (p.b.u.h) revealed that a man will come in the End of Time (ahiruz-zeman) from his Ahlu-l- bayt who will be rightly guided and gifted (mehdi) to the Earth and all its inhabitants, where he will re-establish the lost balance and the harmony and will bring justice to earth brimming with injustice. Some descendants of Allah’s Messenger (p.b.u.h) are not worthy of their belonging. Morally faithful who restrain from sin and fear Allah are part of his (p.b.u.h) blessed family. Love towards the Family of Allah’s Messenger (p.b.u.h) is an obligation, it should not be neglected nor should one go to extremes in exaggeration. The honourable parents of Allah’s Messenger (p.b.u.h) are exempted from punishment.
